• Cornelson (10/5): 10 out of 10 will definitely stay again. - Great stay at the Franciscan Inn. The rooms and grounds were very well kept—clean, comfortable, and inviting. Sunny, the manager, was especially kind and accommodating, making the experience even better. Highly recommend!
• RONALD (3/5): Only one cockroach 🪳 - Only one cockroach in the center drawer, I asked the manager if he had some spray, he asked where?? I showed him, and he said sometimes. ??? I don't like to complain, and it must be tough to keep the bugs dead but other than that, o well!

• Cornelson (10/5): - I had a wonderful stay at the Franciscan Inn! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a fridge, microwave, wifi and great TV . The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with anything we needed. The location is convenient, with easy access to local shops, restaurants. It’s clear they take pride in creating a pleasant and affordable stay. I would definitely recommend the Franciscan Inn to anyone visiting the area and look forward to staying there again!
• Kristen (10/5): Great service and room - The guys at the front desk were very friendly and the maid was super nice! I had both a fridge and microwave in the room which was awesome! Nothing
• Kristen (10/5): Had a great stay with no issues, Sunni at front desk was very friendly and helpful - The best price around! I wasn’t expecting much besides a cheap room but I was blown away by the great customer service! I also saw the front desk making his rounds to make sure the hotel was safe & clean! (Something that you don’t always get at other affordable rooms.) Our housekeeper was also very nice and friendly. The space could use some updating but nothing to complain about
• Yudith (10/5): Overall good - Stores were nearby Pillow we’re not comfortable
• Sergio (9/5): -

• Paulo (10/5): Beautiful - Beautifully location, manager is super nice and professional. I'll definitely recommend. Location, services and price.
• Grimaud (5/5): It was very convenient but I am undecided if I would stay there again. - The hotel has a restaurant bordering the property, staff was helpful and pleasant, the room was clean; but, no amenities such as coffee, and beds were very uncomfortable, especially if you have any back issues. Price was slightly high for what is offered. Mattresses, no coffee, and bathroom was very small. Did not use the bathtub or shower.
• Rodney (8/5): - All was good no complaints the wi fi Wifi wasn't working
• Rodney (7/5): - The wi fi was working Wi fi not working
• Andino (2/5): Very ridiculous no guest policy - Not much The staff telling me that I couldn’t have guests even though the whole reason I was here was to visit with my family and friends while we were here for a family emergency and I couldn’t even have my family come over that’s ridiculous how can they tell me I can’t have my aunt over to the room I paid to have.
• Esmirna (3/5): -
• Rodney (6/5): My stay - It was cool
• Miguel (10/5): -
• Dulce (10/5): -
• Sanchez (2/5): Stay away - Working fridge Very dirty, door frames look like they've been busted down a couple times. Not the best clientele that passes by. Floors are dirty, tv doesn't work. Toilets dont flush the whole way. Went out for the day and came back to our belongings gone and one of our blankets outside on the parking lot floor. When we went to ask, the owner told us it was because we needed to check out. Our stay was from Nov.8 - Nov.11. He wanted us to check out on the 10th. Because we were gone majority of the day and we asked for no room service.
• Arturo (3/5): -
• Orange (9/5): -
• Yael (10/5): - Clean room, parking was excellent and a lot of stuff to do around
• Juan (10/5): -
• Michal (10/5): - I stay here often and it’s always a great stay
• Surbhi (2/5): - It was really bad place, poor quality. Very dirty. We got scammed since last minute nothing was available we had to go for this hotel.
• Hal (4/5): - The room was quiet; however, this is a two rating because the floors, especially around the bath tub was dirty. I had to look for the plug for the microwave, because it had been unplugged. There was nothing for the guests. No coffee even, that most guests would expect. He just looked at me and said they did not have anything, and said "Sorry" They were nice, but they need a professional to walk the rooms and get them back on track. I had to find the maintenance man to figure out how to turn on the TV, because someone previously had changed the normal settings, so that could probably play games on the TV. These things should always be checked before a new guest goes in the rooms. Thank you for reading my message. Hopefully this will help.
• David Montoya (6/5): - Got in trouble for having too many people in my room. After management warned me I kicked everyone out and everything was fine. The manager still proceeded to shame me again in the parking lot in front of all the other people staying. He said my actions cause discomfort with the other people staying but somehow him yelling at me didn't it? The stay was very affordable tho! Very dirty room, holes on the carpet, mold in the fridge and rust in the bathroom.
• Paulo (2/5): Horrible - Horrible getho place never ever will stay there again. I would like to get a refund, not tv no hot water holes in the walls stings very bad.
• René P. (5/5): Just okay - The place is mediocre Ice machine broke down. They didn’t give me my usual room that I requested prior. The A/C is too noisey.
• Paula (6/5): Carlsbad work trip - The hotel is big In property. The service is okay, not terrible but okay. Rooms are big really spacious lots of parking. Bed was comfortable not terrible ac units worked in our room took a while to cool down but it cooled down....there's a few restaurants around, walking distance, a 711 near also walking distance, Mexican place in the opposite corner, laundry mat in the same plaza as the hotel if needed, really close to the main downtown of Vista. We did not explore as we just wanted to rest though did try the Mexican food it was good.
• Joseph (5/5): Thank you . - Just a roof over our heads Amen Could have had better beds mattress and sofas I did see roaches . .FYI
• Bahram (1/5): -
• Ademola (1/5): I will never go back - Nothing, the tv not working and the internet not work, too many drug people around the property. I don't
• Veronica (10/5): - Great service
• Enrique (2/5): - I reserved a room for 2 nights, and the condition of the rooms were absolute horrible. The ACE was also not working and where the property was located was unsafe. I tried to get my money back but they didn't let me. DO NOT COME HERE!! Not family friendly at all!
• Joshua (2/5): - Hotel is overrun with what seems to be drug trafficking and homelessness. Checked out at 245 am due to roaches and constant banging on walls from other tenants. Broke down cars and broke furniture just thrown about.
• Timothy (4/5): - The floor was filthy.My wife told the maid and she just looked at her and walked away. The bathroom door was filthy and covered in mold. Didn't bother to say anything since they didn't seem to care about the floor. We booked the room for 3 days and were not offered cleaning or fresh towels once while we were there. The first night my wife asked for an extra blanket and an extra pillow and was told they don't have them. Had I not payed for 3 nights in advance, I would have left after the first night.
• Gloria (4/5): - When we got there the doors looked weak, there were too many loud people yelling outside. We felt unsafe to even sleep there.
• Daniel (1/5): I rarely write reviews on stays, but this is the worst I've ever experienced so far. - Half the lights or electrical outlets didn't work, the TV was broken More cleanliness, better rates.
• McNamara (1/5): The pictures don't do this place just...ic.... I was in a hurry and end up here. Never again - Very little to like about this place.... I guy checked us in quickly. The room was dirty... dirty floors and walls. The one chair looked like it had been soiled; The AC worked ok but was super loud. The bathroom door didn't close at all as though it didn't fit the opening. All but one of the electrical outlet wouldn't hold the cube t charge the phone. All fixture were very old and rusted. the shower had no pressure and faucet and shower head were "do it yourself" repairs with mismatched equipment. There were zero hangers, no coffee set up and no clothes iron. The clerk there spoke very little English and clerk was reluctant to give me additional towels (2).
• Christopher (1/5): -
• Mercado (5/5): -
• Kara (2/5): - Worst experience I have ever had at an hotel. Staff was rude , people sleeping in their cars outside your room in the parking lot and ask to use your shower. There were piles of garbage outside the door of the room. The office manager/owner called yelling at me a day before I was scheduled to check out asking where I was cause it was past check out time. I would avoid this place at all cost!!!!! Prices were cheap but still will never go back
• stevenvP3292HU (2/5): DONT STAY HERE. YOU Might get killed. - I would recommend nobody stay here, this was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Nothing but drug dealers in the rooms. It was a free for all at night. Tweekers walking around like zombies. I would never leave my car here either. The straw that made me ask for a refund and leave was the man walking around with a propane can, he made it into a blow torch and was trying to light the stairs on fire. Every drug addict in Vista was here. I left at 12:30 at night. Only one 18 yr old kid was working far away from the rooms. A bunch of runways and gang members in these rooms. The bathroom has bugs and mold. The windows has no screens . The Carpet was filthy , I ran out of there. Studio 6 in Carlsbad is like the Ritz compared to this dump. A total life hazard. Bulldoze this place, please
• Juana (10/5): -
• michelle (2/5): - Crappy bed. Walls from the bathroom it’s like it’s going to fall. TVs not working. Wasted my $300 for 2 nights.
• Doug (4/5): - Sketchy area in the two story building. Broken down cars and a pitbull with people hanging around. I refused the first room they gave me. They offered up another one near the office that was better and I accepted it. Overall lower than expected and my expectations weren’t very high.
• tu (2/5): - Terrible. They don't even have wifi that work for me to work. I ruined my night there. I want a refund
• Edward (4/5): - We had to change rooms because the first one they provided was smelly and dirty. Some of the staff acted like they were suspicious we were doing something wrong. In one case they asked how many people we had in the room. I've never been asked that after checking in.
• Jose (1/5): Bad -
• Anastasia (4/5): - Room had hair everywhere on the floor and all over the pillows. There is a janky outlet for the lamp and the TV didn’t work.
• Stenya (10/5): - I liked the cleanliness and that I was in a safe environment.
• Stenya (10/5): - The front office was very considerate of my being a solo female guest. Placed me close to their office.
